" Letters Patent No. 93,782, dated August 17,1869.

BASE-BURNING- stave.

Thefiphedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of 1110 lame.

To all whom it may concern,-

Be it known that I, Gnonen A. WING, of Albany,

in the county of Albany, and State of New-York, have invented a new and improved Reservoir-Stove; and I 1 do hereby-declare that thefollowing is a full, clear, and exact-description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, in which 7 1 Figure 1 is a vertical central section of my invention, taken on the plane of a line running from side to side of my stove.

Figure 2 is a vertical central section, takenat right anglesto fig. 1.

Figure 3 is a horizontal view of the fire-pot and side fines, as seen on the plane of line w w in fig. 1.

Figure 4.is a horizontal view of the base and. bot tom fluesof the stove, as see. 1 on theplane of theline Figure 5 is a horizontal section, taken on the plane of the line 22 v in fig. 2. 5

Figure 6 is an enlarged view, in plan and section,of 7 cover Q, within illumination-chamber O.

Similar letters of reference indicate'like parts in all the figures,

To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention, I will proceed to describe its construction and mode of operation. v

The base of the stove is constructed with under fines F and G, which are separated from each other longitudinally by central flue-strip E, as shown in figs. 1, 2, and 4.

The fire-pot A is suspended in the usual manner, above the ash-pit I, by means of lugs 0, upon which the brim of the fire-pot may rest. It is further sup,- ported by two sideflue-strips H, which reach fromthe' brim of the fire-pot to the bottom of the'ash-pit, as seen in fig. 1.

Flue-strips H are curved, and have their concave side's toward the ash-pit, as-seen at H in fig. 4, or they may have their convex sides towardthe ash-pit, as seen at H in fig. 4, and in both ends of fig. 3.

Said flue-strips H are divided from top to bottoin by a central flue-strip, which is a continuation upward of-flue-strip E, and tliusforms two separate fines, one of which,-I), is a descending flue, and the other, 2, .is an ascending flue, as seen in figs-1, 3,'and 4.

Upon the top of the fire-pot section of the stove are two outside ascending fluesK, the bottoms of which are connected-to the tops of the two inner ascending flues 2, as shown in fig. I

Onthe tops of fines K is 'p'laced an elevated oven, M, which is surrounded-15v a fine, N, into which the products of combustion from flues K are received, and

thence conducted to exit-flue 0, as. shown in figs. 1 and 2. 9

Between the outside fluesK, and-directly over the fire-pot A, is a semicircular illuminating-chamber, O,

provided with a door and illuminating-windows, for mica or other transparent substances, as may be desired.

The bottom of illuminating ehamher G is provided 'with two covers, one within the other. The "larger one, P, is hinged, as shown at c, in fig. 2, and operated by a rod, S,.as shown in fig. l. 7

Cover Pis nearlyas large as the bottom of the illuminating-chamber G. The inner and smaller cover, Q, is a round cover, similar to. an ordinary stoveecover, excepting that it is provided with a hinge of novel construction, as shown in figs. =2 and (i.

The, hinge of cover Qis constructed as follows: A projection, d, of about one inch in width apd length, is formed on the back of the cover, as shown in plan and section in fig. (i; The under side of projection'd is constructed with asemicircular recess, in it,

tofit over a horizontal pivot, 9, which isfastened near the edge of .the hole under cover Q. Projection d is constructed ofan ogee form,withits outer curvedend passing under the' larger cover P, all as shown'in fig. 6. v 1

e reservoirB-is placedon the back part of the stove, as shown in-fig. 2, aid has within it, on its front side, a flue, L, which serves for the direct draught of the stove, and'is principally used when kindling a fire in the stove. There is a damper, B, at the bottom of Adjoining the reservoir B, and directly infront of the same, is an illuminating-ehamber,'( occupying nearly all the front of the stove, and extending upward to the elevated oven M, asshown in'fig. 2.

Illuminating-chamber G is separated from the combustion-chamber within fire-pot A, by two covers, P and Q, either of which may be opened at pleasure.

On each side of the stove, and assisting to support the elevated oven M, are constructed the two outside ascending flues K K, as shown in figs. 1 and 2. Underneath the back part of large coverP is placed a fire-brick, Y,.or other fire-proof substance, to prevent the burning of thatpart of the top of the firechamber, as shown in figs. l and 2.

. At b, in fig. 5, are segn, in section, 1; '0 small tubes,

which extend from near the top of reservoir B down to the fire-pot or combustion-chamber, into which they enter. The purpose of said tubes 11 is to convey whatever gas :may accumulate in the reservoir B, from it down to the fire-pot Aft-here to be consumed.

aura-a sternew dtjfilire, I

At a, in fig.1, are shown, by dotted lines, two small tubes, to conduct the gas that mayaecnmnlate within illuminating-chamber G, into the top of reservoir B.

At m, in fig. 1, is shown a small tube or aperture, to admit cold air into descending flue D, for the purpose of supplying oxygen, in orderto consume the gases within the combustion-chamber within fire-pot A.

Within the ash-pit I, asshown in fig. 2, is placed a register, 1, opening into one of the ascending flues 2. This register I may he opened, to admit cold air through the ash-pit into the ascending flue 2, to check the draught of the fire, or it may he used, when shaking the grate of the stove, to carry off the dust arising from shaking the grate.

It will be seen from the above description,-that by turning damper R, within flue L, to the position shown in fig. 2, the stove may be used as a directdraught stove. Also, that the illuminated chamber 0 may be lighted up at pleasure, by opening one or both of its bottom covers I? and Q. Also, that this improved reservoir-stove may beused as a. cooking-stove, as well as for a heating-stove, for baking and broiling may be easily and well done by the arrangement and construction above described.

Having described my invention, its construction and mode of operation,

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. The construction of illuinitiating-chamber G, with covers P and Q, or their equivalents, whereby all light from the combustion-chamber, within fire-pot A, may be excluded at pleasure.

2. The combination of direct-draught fine L and reservoir B, with illuminating-chamher G, substam tially as herein set forth.

3..lhe combination of reservoir B and fire-pot A, with illaminating-chamber O, substantially as and for the purpose herein set forth.

4. The combination of elevated oven M, with flue s K K and L, reservoir B, and fire-pot A, as herein shown and described.

5. The combination of register I, with ascendingflue 2, in the manner herein shown.
